We only publish source code for pgAgent - you will find a README in the
archive that has step by step build and configuration instructions to
compile it yourself.

However, I would suggest waiting for the Debian/Ubuntu or Redhat packages
or Windows/Mac installers from EnterpriseDB to be released. These will have
pre-built binaries and are a lot easier to install (but the instructions
will be package-specific so don't come from us).

Regards, Dave.
